Description: The Biosensis Mouse and Rat proNGF Rapid enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) Kit is a sandwich ELISA that allows the quantification of rodent full-length proNGF protein in less than 4 hours in cell culture supernatants, cell lysates and tissue homogenates only if used as directed. This ELISA Kit has also successfully been used on mouse urine samples (Ryu JC et al., 2018). Please refer to the kit protocol for specific use instructions for each substrate application.

This ELISA kit contains a recombinant mouse proNGF standard expressed in E.coli and consists of a pre-coated anti-proNGF capture antibody, a biotinylated anti-proNGF detection antibody and horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated streptavidin. The addition of a substrate (3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine, TMB) yields a colored reaction product which is directly proportional to the concentration of proNGF present in samples and protein standards. A proNGF positive control (QC sample) is provided to assure consistent assay performance. This ELISA kit detects rat proNGF due to high degree of homology (96%) with mouse proNGF based on amino acid sequence, and the ability of this kit in detecting proNGF in rat PC12 cell lysates and rat brain tissue homogenate. In the absence of a true rat proNGF standard, results may be expressed as 'mouse proNGF equivalents'. This ELISA kit shows only 20% reactivity with the human form of proNGF and is therefore not suitable to quantify human proNGF. No cross-reactivity was observed with mature mouse NGF and full-length proBDNF when tested in assay buffer.

The antibodies used in this ELISA kit bind epitopes within the pro-domain (capture) and mature domain (detection) of the protein, thus this ELISA assay does not detect the pro-domain peptide. This kit has not been tested for other applications. Sufficient amount of proNGF standard is supplied to allow for spike- and recovery experiments in order to validate this ELISA assay for other sample matrices if required.

Description: Presenilin-1 (PSEN1) is a multi-pass membrane protein and component of the gamma-secretase complex. PSEN1 is thought to play a role in intracellular signaling and gene expression or in linking chromatin to the nuclear membrane. It may also play a role in hematopoiesis. Defects in PSEN1 are a cause of Alzheimer disease type 3 (AD3), a familial early-onset form of Alzheimer disease (Ref:SWISS-Prot).

Description: Required to maintain individual mitotic chromosomes dispersed in the cytoplasm following nuclear envelope disassembly (PubMed:27362226). Associates with the surface of the mitotic chromosome, the perichromosomal layer, and covers a substantial fraction of the chromosome surface (PubMed:27362226). Prevents chromosomes from collapsing into a single chromatin mass by forming a steric and electrostatic charge barrier: the protein has a high net electrical charge and acts as a surfactant, dispersing chromosomes and enabling independent chromosome motility (PubMed:27362226). Binds DNA, with a preference for supercoiled DNA and AT-rich DNA (PubMed:10878551). Does not contribute to the internal structure of mitotic chromosomes (By similarity). May play a role in chromatin organization (PubMed:24867636). It is however unclear whether it plays a direct role in chromatin organization or whether it is an indirect consequence of its function in maintaining mitotic chromosomes dispersed (Probable).

Description: A proprietary preparation of human amyloid beta peptide (amino acids 1-42) that was initially monomerized by HFIP-treatment and then allowed to form oligomers by the procedure described in Youmans KL et al., 2012, followed by lyophilisation using Biosensis’ proprietary stabilization procedures.

The resulting oligomeric mixture has been specially designed to allow the formation of stable, oligomeric Aβ1-42 peptide, multimeric complexes or oligomers. The material is intended to be used as a stable and consistent standard or positive control for oligomeric ELISA assays, as well as other research applications. This product is supplied as 2 x 500 ng vials, each containing lyophilized Aβ oligomers. Note that the amount of provided oligomeric protein is based on the amount of monomeric Aβ used to form these oligomers. The precise formation, size and number of oligomers cannot be quantified by any known method.

Description: The green fluorescent protein (GFP) is a 27 kDa protein isolated originally from the jellyfish Aequoria victoria. It has an endogenous fluorochrome activity with excitation maximum at 395nm and emission maximum at 509 nm, which is similar to that of fluorescein. GFP can be expressed in fluorescent form in essentially any prokaryotic or eukaryotic cell.
This GFP rabbit antibody was made against a recombinant GFP construct originating from an Aequoria species which was engineered to improve spectral properties and prevent oligomerization (1). This form of GFP, referred to as AcGFP, is 94% identical to the eGFP developed by Tsien and co-workers. The antibody can be used to verify the expression, size and stability of both AcGFP and eGFP fusion proteins in western blotting experiments and to amplify GFP signals in tissues of transgenic animals.

Description: GAP43 is very abundant protein which is found concentrated in neurons. One group discovered it as one of three proteins which becomes unregulated during the regeneration of the toad optic nerve (1). Three GAPs (Growth associated proteins) were discovered, and the number 43 comes from the apparent SDS-PAGE molecular weight of the one named GAP43. The HGNC name for this protein is, not surprisingly, GAP43. Later work showed that GAP43 does not run on SDS-PAGE in a fashion which accurately reflects its molecular weight, and that GAP43 proteins from different species may run at different apparent molecular weights. Partly due to these features GAP43 were independently discovered by several different groups and therefore has several alternate names, such as protein F1, pp46, neuromodulin, neural phosphoprotein B-50 and calmodulin-binding protein P-57. In each case the number reflects the apparent SDS-PAGE molecular weight, and underlines the unusual properties of this molecule. Mammalian GAP43 proteins contains only 226-243 amino acids, and so the real molecular weight is 23.61-25.14 kDa. GAP43 has been extensively studied and is known to be a major protein kinase C substrate and to bind calmodulin avidly. GAP43 is anchored to the plasma membrane by palmitoylation modifications.

Description: mCherry is an engineered derivative of one of a family of proteins originally isolated from Cnidarians (jelly fish, sea anemones and corals). The mCherry protein was derived from DsRed, a red fluorescent protein from so-called disc corals of the genus Discosoma. DsRed is a 223 amino acid ~28kDa protein similar in size and properties to GFP, but, obviously, produces a red rather than a green fluorochrome. The original DsRed was engineered extensively in the Tsien lab to prevent it from forming tetramers and dimers and to modify and improve the spectral properties (1-3). The resulting monomeric protein is useful for applications such as Förster Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET, also known as Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer). Several further cycles of mutation, directed modification and evolutionary selection produced mCherry, which is monomeric and has an excitation maximum at 587 nm and and emission maximum at 610 nm (4).

Description: BDNF belongs to the neurotrophin family and promotes the survival of neuronal populations that are all located either in the central nervous system or directly connected to it. It is a major regulator of synaptic transmission and plasticity at adult synapses in many regions of the CNS. The versatility of BDNF is emphasized by its contribution to a range of adaptive neuronal responses including long-term potentiation (LTP), long-term depression (LTD), certain forms of short-term synaptic plasticity, as well as homeostatic regulation of intrinsic neuronal excitability. The alterations in BDNF expression induced by various kinds of brain insult including stress, ischemia, seizure activity and hypoglycemia, may contribute to some pathologies such as depression, epilepsy, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's disease. Microglia release BDNF that may contribute to neuroinflammation and neuropathic pain. SUBUNIT: Monomers and homodimers. Binds to NTRK2/TRKB. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted protein. POst translation modification: Converted into mature BDNF by plasmin (PLG). SIMILARITY: Belongs to the NGF-beta family.
